A perfect place to experience both old and new Edinburgh

Property location was amazing - in the heart of new city near the Train station and a very short walk to Old City. Flat was roomy and was in great shape and exactly how it was advertised.

Lovely apartment in the perfect location

This one-bedroom apartment was ideal for the two of us and its location was perfect: there is a grocery store steps away, great access to bus-lines, walkable to almost every where we wanted to go. Highly recommend.

Wonderful Stay

It was a nice surprise that the apartment is actually larger than the pictures portrayed. It’s very spacious. The bed and pillows were very comfortable! It was great to have a grocery store right next door. The property manager, Karen, was quick to respond and very pleasant.

Great apartment, fantastic location!

We really enjoyed our stay at the apartment, it was spacious, well equipped, clean and well laid out. I'd recommend this for anyone wanting to spend some quality time in Edinburgh. Any questions we had were answered promptly and the whole process was transparent and smooth. Highly recommended!

Spacious and comfortable

Nice property in a good location. Bright and very spacious. Had everything we could need. Was comfortable, and the host was great and made check in easy. Would stay again when in Edinburgh. Only note is on a busy street with the tram system, however the noise was not bad from our perspective.

Fabulous stay but!

Fabulous property and location but had some issues, and was not as polished as the price demanded! Bedroom carpet was stained, poor quality ironing board, broken glass and chair and TV picture not available as Ariel not connected. Damage on fridge door front. On the positive side a Dishwasher and Washer Dryer. Couldn’t find details of heating.Location is perfect for an Edinburgh trip, trams and buss on your doorstep.

The apartment is exactly as advertised, spacious, bright, very comfortable and in an excellent location. It's relatively close, about a 10 minute walk, to Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile. There is a grocery store very close by and many dining and pub options close by. City transit and the tram to the airport have stops right outside the front door. Communication with the property manager was prompt and friendly. I would definitely stay here again on a future trip to Edinburgh.

Spacious flat in prime location

This is a well equipped and spacious flat in a prime location at the west end of Edinburgh spoiled only by a few niggling problems- the street entrance is a disgrace and badly needs to be cleaned up- one of the bedside lights wasn't working and despite reporting this on more than one occasion we had to live without it for the whole week- normally I would expect the password for the internet to be displayed boldly in the flat, I had to contact the manager to find it- the hot water system was dangerously hot - particularly for childrenOtherwise, despite some signs of tiredness, it was a very comfortable flat in an ideal position

Outstanding Property in Edinburgh

Well-apointed and equipmed flat that was perfect for 2-week stay in Edinburgh. Location is short walk from Haymarket Station and central to every neighborhood that can be explored in Edinburgh (West End, Stockbridge, Dean Village, New Town, Old Town, Royal Mile, Tynecastle Park, Leith, etc.). Mere metres from grocery, coffe, pharmacy and pub too and 1 minute walk to nearest restaurants. Professionally managed property (they manage others too), outstanding communication and exceptional service. No hesitation in recommending this property and would defintely return.

Great Location!

A great location! Supermarket right next door to pick up our breakfast food and snacks. We did not rent a vehicle as we could walk to many of the popular areas of Edinburgh. The trams and buses were easily accessible for places not within walking distance. The bed was very comfortable too. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The only thing I would suggest is to bring toilet paper. I wasn’t aware I needed to supply my own and for what was charged I would have expected it to be supplied. Overall a nice stay.

Nice property and the location is ideal. A very walkable City. Buses and trams available next to the property if wanted or needed. Have a Grocery store next door. Nice pub next to property, nice staff and good food. Lots of places to Shop, dinning, and entertainment all close by. The property had a few issues. One of the shades in the living area chain is broken, Carpet needs to be cleaned in the bedroom, Stained. Ironing board needs pad to be replaced. Also, better communications would be nice with Property Manager. We were told she would reach out to us 14 days before arrival. It took us a few times to reach out to her before she responded day before our flight. Had an issue with the bathroom flushing valve one day before leaving. Reached out to update her and ask for assistance to fix the issue, no reply back. Need better communication on how to open the windows or if they open for fresh air. A fan was available for use we were very thankful. We had a great time in Edinburgh for our 9 day stay. Recommend using Rabbies Tours. They were amazing.

West End stay

Great location with bus and tram stops in front of the flat. The travel hub office to get bus passes is across the street. Grocery store, Boots and a pub are on the ground floor. Only two cons: We paid for the executive car transfer from the airport to the flat. We got a black cab taxi driver who could find the flat. Also had to walk a long way in the rain to his car with no offer of umbrella. Meter showed about 35GBP which is way less than we paid. The second con was that the chain on one of the shades in the living area broke on our second day. We notified the host immediately but the shade was not repaired during the remaining 9 days of our stay. These are the tall windows featured in the listing.

Stunning apartment, clean and well equipped. Very comfortable. No noise from neighbours. The ladies at The Edinburgh Address are great - professional, friendly and organised. There is a bit of admin to do prior to visit but it doesn't take long.
